Bulgarian Matchbox

Matchbox leased a number of dies to both Bulgaria and Hungry. This resulted in a explosion of models being produced in various colours and designs. No one seems to know exactly how many variations exists, especially of the fire vehicles as there are a lot of regular models with Fire tampos. There are some different variations, such as the sirens added to MB57 and the lights and sirens on MB59.
